A panoramic explosion of heartland rock and synth-pop. Massive, widescreen anthems designed for desert highways and open skies.
August 21, 2020 · Island Records
A relentless, motorik propulsion drives this widescreen collection of open-road anthems, trading the dark alleys of the past for the spiritual vastness of the Utah desert. The production is a towering wall of sound, layering shimmering synth pads and soaring, optimistic vocals that reach for the rafters of empty stadiums. It is a record of forward motion, capturing a cinematic euphoria that feels deeply sincere and unapologetically massive.
